i'll definitely become catholic.
i just watched an episode of mad men where peggy's bitchy sister made a very bitchy confession to her priest about peggy. i'm pretty sure "confession" is the most self-indulgent religious act ever invented. what a relief to go to some anonymous person who's obligated to listen and say "i've done this and this and this. tell me what i have to recite to make amends." catholicism seems perfect for the modern hedonist!
maybe i'm missing something though.. jack donaghy often talks about the "crushing guilt" that goes along with being a catholic.
well, i know people tend to embrace religion later in life when there's more to lose and the threat of death is more imminent. probably Catholicism will be my religion of choice if that day ever comes.
